Guard, through the Holy Spirit who lives in us, that good thing entrusted to you.

Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

So if anyone purifies himself from anything dishonorable, he will be a special instrument, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good,

so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
